Ezekiel 15

1 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Un Tā Kunga vārds notika uz mani sacīdams:

2 “Son of man, how does the wood of the vine surpass any other branch among the trees in the forest?

Cilvēka bērns! Vai vīna koks pārāks par citu koku, vīna stīga, kas ir starp meža kokiem!

3 Can wood be taken from it to make something useful? Or can one make from it a peg on which to hang utensils?

Vai no tā ņem lietas koku, ko taisīt? Vai no tā ņem vadzi, pie tā pakārt kādu rīku?

4 No, it is cast into the fire for fuel. The fire devours both ends, and the middle is charred. Can it be useful for anything?

Redzi, ugunij to nodod par barību; uguns ēd viņa abus galus un apsvilina viņa vidu; vai tas vēl der kādai lietai?

5 Even when it was whole, it could not be made useful. How much less can it ever be useful when the fire has consumed it and charred it!

Redzi, kad tas vēl bija vesels, tad tas nederēja nekādai lietai, ne nu vēl, kad uguns to ēdis un apsvilinājis, vai no tā vēl ko var taisīt?

6 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Like the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so I will give up the people of Jerusalem.

Tāpēc tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: tā kā vīna koku starp meža kokiem Es nododu ugunij, lai to aprij, tā Es nodošu Jeruzālemes iedzīvotājus.

7 And I will set My face against them. Though they may have escaped the fire, yet another fire will consume them. And when I set My face against them, you will know that I am the LORD.

Un Es pret tiem griezīšu Savu vaigu; no uguns tie iznākuši un uguns tos aprīs, lai jūs atzīstat, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs, kad Es pret tiem griežu Savu vaigu.

8 Thus I will make the land desolate, because they have acted unfaithfully,’ declares the Lord GOD.”

Un Es darīšu to zemi par posta vietu, tāpēc ka tie visi no Manis atkāpušies, saka Tas Kungs Dievs.
